In an interview, Nintendo boss Shigeru Miyamoto expressed his disappointment about three things: Zelda's sales in Japan, disrespectful kids, and people who don't pay taxes.He started off with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, which he says didn't do quite as well in his home country as it did in the U.S. and Europe. He points the cause to conflicting interests in the demographics that patronize the Wii. He thinks that a lot of the people who do have the Wii aren't interested in playing big RPGs and some of the people who do want a run at Hyrule can't find a Wii because of its short supply.
He also expressed disappointment over Japan's deteriorating state of social responsibility. He says a lot of people opt to do freelance work and jobs that don't pay taxes. He says Japan needs to be more aware of how taxes help in development and advancing the nation.
He was also dismayed with the fact that Japanese kids are becoming more and more disrespectful of their elders. He cites the example of young people taking the seats intended for the old and the pregnant in trains. He says he intends to create games that can foster values again so that he can help minimize these negative norms that are rising fast in his homeland. To see the full interview, follow the read URL.
